MACSOLU Well, they play, but not "perfectly." My 1080i video from my Sanyo is slow and stuttered. But this is a step in the right direction. I really hope Apple steps up and fixes QuickTime -- version 1.6.1 of QT apparently had the capability to decode and play this type of video, but later versions of QT cannot.

	Dec 7 2007	MACSOLU Should this be used instead of Perian and Flip4Mac or in addition to those two Sys.Preferences? (Version 0.7)		0

MYCOMETG3 avc1Decoder 0.6.7 is safe.

Some apps like Toast and mp4vDecoder has some compatibility issue same as Perian 1.0.

MYCOMETG3 I have confirmed Toast 8.0.3 now compatible with mp4vDecoder.

And, avc1Decoder also does not have any issue with Toast 8.0.3. Please Update if you can.

	Jun 25 2007	BUCHO No chance of adding subtitle support (to this or the mpv4decoder) is there? Perian is delaying their release until December, so other options would be nice... In any case, great work (encoders too)! (Version 0.6.7)		0

BUCHO Perian 1.0 has been released 6 months early. LOL - joke's on me.
(Version 0.6.7)

	May 15 2007	MYCOMETG3 avc1Decoder runs on H.264 media only under mov and mp4 file. It also has postprocessing filter and color adjustment feature. Perian runs many media type, but does not have postprocessing filter nor color adjustment. You can install both. (Version 0.6.6)		0

MAC ADAM Perian is not for h264

avc decodec allow read all h264 and mp4 what integer apple decodec not do (b frames, 8x8, etc).

ps: if you try avc.decodec, no need mp4.decodec, avc.decodec decode mp4 and h264

MYCOMETG3 MPEG-4 AVC does not include MPEG-4 ASP/SP.

AVC is called as "H.264". ASP or SP are generally called as "MPEG-4".

avc1Decoder just handles H.264 media only.

mp4vDecoder handles ASP/SP media only.

	Apr 14 2007	MYCOMETG3 I have tried a few HD trailers. Everything works fine. Would you please tell me that URL? (Version 0.6.5)		0

	Apr 11 2007	BLUNT Unfortunatly this component does one thing badly in Quicktime 7.1.5. It doesn't allow HD trailers to play or for that matter any other mov. I don't know if it's clashing with another component but it blanks the quicktime screen from picture but not sound on the movies. (Version 0.6.5)		0

	Apr 8 2007	MAC ADAM thanx for !! avcDecoder read more h264 and mpg4 files than basic quicktime integration I wonder why Apple don't update their codecs when they update Quicktime ?!!
